Forrst

Forrst was a community for designers and developers to share work in progress and give and receive detailed feedback, founded in 2009 by Kyle Bragger with seed funding from 500 Startups (500 Global) and other angels. It was acquired by Colourlovers in 2012, then by product-design firm ZURB in January 2013, and was shut down on April 14, 2014. The company is defunct; forrst.com now redirects to zurb.com and there is no active API, developer portal, or public API surface to enrich. This profile is retained as a historical 500 Global portfolio lead.

Forrst is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Community, Design, Developer, and Feedback.
